In a match that went down to the final over at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rajasthan\u2019s decision to hand the ball to Tushar Deshpande proved decisive, with the pacer defending 11 runs under pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangar underlined that the foundation of the win lay in Parag\u2019s captaincy during crunch moments. With multiple bowling choices available, the RR skipper's clarity stood out as he backed Deshpande for the final over, a decision that ultimately sealed the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Riyan Parag deserves the credit for his amazing captaincy in this match against GT. It is not an easy job being a skipper, especially when you have tons of bowling options to choose from and you find yourself in a high-pressure situation. Riyan clearly trusted Tushar Deshpande to bowl the final over and when a captain chooses you to bowl an over that's a do-or-die one, then you have to do well. If you don't, your team will lose,\u201d Bangar told JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangar stressed that beyond tactics, a captain\u2019s role is also about instilling belief in players during high-stakes situations. \"It is important for the skipper to motivate the bowler when asking him to do such a tough job. You have to constantly tell them that you can do it, and Tushar Deshpande lived upto the expectations by soaking in all the pressure and bowled the best over of his cricket career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Deshpande responded with an ice-cool over, conceding just four runs and dismissing Rashid Khan at a crucial juncture to swing the match decisively in Rajasthan\u2019s favour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangar also highlighted the long-term impact of such trust between captain and bowler, saying, \"Once you get that kind of trust and faith from your skipper, it is a wonderful feeling. Every time Rajasthan finds themselves in a nail-biting situation, Riyan Parag will go towards Tushar Deshpande because he has done it once and can do it again.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He summed up the moment as a perfect blend of leadership and execution, stating, \"So brilliant from the captain, great execution from the bowler. The celebration at the end tells us how hungry RR was for this win.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from the final over heroics, Bangar also reserved praise for leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who turned the game with a four-wicket haul to derail Gujarat\u2019s chase. Bishnoi\u2019s control and discipline made it difficult for batters to settle, even without a wide range of variations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Explaining Bishnoi\u2019s effectiveness, Bangar pointed out his unique bowling approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Despite not being a conventional leg-spinner, his impact was undeniable. \"He doesn't have a conventional leg spinner, but his figures of 4 for 41 proved his class,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
